France World Cup Shirt Numbers Announced

As is the case with many national teams, there are a number of players in the France squad who have established themselves as key men and made a number their own. Raphael Varane (4), Lucas Hernandez (21) and brother Théo (22), Antoine Griezmann (7) and Olivier Giroud (9) fit into this category and Paul Pogba, Presnel Kimpembe and N'Golo Kanté would also be amongst them if it wasn't for injuries.

Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema receives the same number 19 jersey that he wore at last year's Euros on his return from a 6 year international hiatus.
